The security camera system at the Melbourne Cricket Ground is being progressively upgraded from the old analogue equipment to digital cameras on an IP network.
Rather than adopting a wholesale rip and replace upgrade, the MCC chose to progressively replace the old Panasonic analogue cameras as they fail, moving the remainder around so that the new equipment is installed in entire zones at a time. At this stage, around 15% of the cameras are digital, with around 50 more Axis cameras to be installed in the next few weeks.
There are 480 cameras around the stadium, and the $A3 million project is expected to be completed in another four to five years.
The upgrade included the rollout of a fibre optic network and the construction of a new security control room, which has now been in action around the clock for about a year. On match days, operations are run from a second control room overlooking the ground from above the members' enclosure.
The IT department was involved from the start - see page 2.
